2) Adjusting the Height of the Presser Foot
① Check the relationship between the presser foot
and the needle/embroidery material. Turn the
main shaft lever to position the needle at the
lowest point (178°). Remove the head cover and
unfasten the screws on the presser foot so it
moves up and down. Place a 1mm-thick gauge
on the needle plat and lightly press the presser
foot. Fasten the screws snugly when the presser
foot touches the gauge.
11-7) Relationship between Presser Foot
and Needle
1) Relationship between Presser Foot, Needle, and
Embroidery Material
For stable stitching, the presser foot must be
pressing the embroidery material before the needle
pierces into the material. The same is true for when
the needle comes out of the material.
2) When the Presser Foot is Too High
① Needle In
[Fig.11-15] shows the presser foot fails to press
the work material when the needle pierces into
the fabric, causing an unstable needlework.
② Needle Out
[Fig.11-16] shows the presser foot fails to press the work material when the needle comes out of the fabric.
The embroidery material is lifted up along with the needle, making a gap between the fabric and the needle
plate. This may cause thread breaks, skipped stitches, or unstable stitching.
